This homebrew project is to create a datacenter-in-a-box for a fully redundant home data & media management system, using Windows Home Server and Vista to serve media via XBox 360 extenders to different rooms. The goal was to fit the hardware to run both systems in as small and aesthetically pleasing a form factor as possible- pretty pleased with the way this turned out, let me know what you think! Before embarking on this I did some pretty extensive experiments with virtualization- Home Server under Vista, Vista under Home Server etc... my conclusion was that both systems really need access to the raw hardware to perform best, which is why I settled on the two-motherboard solution. For next steps I'm looking at booting Vista from flash memory so as to free up a hard drive slot, and replacing the ATX power supplies with micro-ATX ones to free up more space. Suggestions welcome.
